Bucharest, Romania

Bucharest is bigger, busier, and more energetic than Timișoara.

It is not the prettiest city in every area, but it has many advantages: nightlife, coworking spaces, shopping malls, parks, restaurants, and international connections. Numbeo estimates single-person monthly costs in Bucharest at about $780 excluding rent, and Nomads.com lists a single-person cost of around $1,522 per month.

Bucharest is one of the best European cities to live in if you want a capital city lifestyle without Western European prices. It is especially good for digital workers, entrepreneurs, and people who want more energy than smaller cities offer.
